Jakoba 5
1 Hete! ry mpañalealeo, miroveta naho mitoreòva amo hasotriañe hivotrak’ ama’ areoo.
Go, now, you rich! Weep, howling over your miseries that are coming on [you];
2 Fa momoke ty vara’ areo, nihanem-bararaoke o saro’ areoo.
your riches have rotted, and your garments have become moth-eaten;
3 Herefeñe ty volamena naho ty volafoti’ areo, toe ho sesehe’ ty harefesa’e, hampibotseke ty nofo’ areo hoe afo, ie nahaja’ areo ho amo andro honka’eo o vara’ areoo.
your gold and silver have rotted, and the rust of them will be to you for a testimony, and will eat your flesh as fire. You have stored up treasure in the last days!
4 Inao! Mitoreo ty rima’e o mpièke nanatake o tete’ areoo, ie nahaja’ areo avao. Fa nitakats’ an-dravembia’ i Talè’ i màroy ty fitoreova’ o mpanatakeo.
Behold, the reward of the workmen cries out, of those who in-gathered your fields, which has been fraudulently kept back by you, and the exclamations of those who reaped have entered into the ears of the LORD of Hosts;
5 Ie toe niagaregañe an-tane atoy naho niaiñañoleñañe, nañavondra-troke ho amy andro fandentàñey,
you lived in luxury on the earth, and were wanton; you nourished your hearts, as in a day of slaughter;
6 Mamàtse naho mañoho-doza amy vañoñey, ie tsy nanohetse.
you condemned—you murdered the righteous; he does not resist you.
7 Mahaliñisa arè ry longo, ampara’ ty fitotsaha’ i Talè. Oniño ty fahaliñisa’ i mpiavay ty voka-tsoa’ i taney, ie liñisa’e ampara’ te avy i loha-orañey naho i oran-jobay.
Be patient, then, brothers, until the coming of the LORD; behold, the farmer expects the precious fruit of the earth, being patient for it, until he may receive rain—early and latter;
8 Mahaliñisa, mihaozara troke, fa an-titotse ty fitotsaha’ i Talè.
you also be patient; establish your hearts, because the coming of the LORD has drawn near;
9 Ko mifamarahy ry longo, tsy mone ho zakaeñe. Hehe te mijohañe an-dalañe eo i Mpizakay.
do not murmur against one another, brothers, that you may not be condemned; behold, the Judge has stood before the door.
10 O koahe, rendreho o mpitoky nisaontsy amy tahina’ i Talèio ho fandrazañañe ty fahaliñisañe naho hasotriañe.
Brothers, [as] an example of the suffering of evil and of patience, take the prophets who spoke in the Name of the LORD;
11 Ataon-tika haha ty mahafifeake. Toe jinanji’ areo ty fahaliñisa’ i Joba naho niisa’ areo ty nanoe’ i Talè, fa lifon-kalèn’ arofo naho fiferenaiñañe t’i Talè.
behold, we call those who are enduring blessed; you heard of the endurance of Job, and you have seen the end from the LORD, that the LORD is very compassionate, and pitying.
12 Mandikoatse ie iabiy, ry longo, ko mifanta—he amy likerañey, ke ami’ty tane toy, hera am-panta ila’e, fe anò eka ty eka’ areo, naho Aiy! ty tsie’ areo, tsy mone hampihotrahan-jaka.
And before all things, my brothers, do not swear, neither by Heaven, neither by the earth, neither by any other oath, but let your “Yes” be yes, and the “No,” no, that you may not fall under judgment.
13 Ia ama’ areo ro misotry? Soa re te hihalaly. Ia ty ehake? Ehe t’ie hisabo.
Does anyone suffer evil among you? Let him pray; is anyone of good cheer? Let him sing psalms;
14 Ama’areo ao hao ty siloke? Soa re te hikanjy o bei’ i Fivoriio hihalaly ho aze, hañosoran-tavoñe amy tahina’ i Talèy,
is anyone sick among you? Let him call for the elders of the assembly, and let them pray over him, having anointed him with oil, in the Name of the LORD,
15 Ie mihalaly am-patokisañe ro mahajangañe i natindriy vaho hatroa’ i Talè. Ie nandilatse, le hafahañe.
and the prayer of faith will save the distressed one, and the LORD will raise him up, and if he may have committed sins, they will be forgiven to him.
16 Aa le mifampiantofa tahiñe vaho mifampihalalia le ho jangañe. Mahatafetetse raha maro ty halaly toloñe’ ty vantañe.
Be confessing to one another the trespasses, and be praying for one another, that you may be healed; very strong is a working supplication of a righteous man;
17 Ondaty nira-vintañe amantika t’i Elia, ie nihalaly ty tsy hahavian’ orañe, le tsy niavy an-tane atoy naho tsy niritse hey ty taoñe telo-tsi-enem-bolañe.
Elijah was a similar-feeling man as us, and with prayer he prayed—not to rain, and it did not rain on the land three years and six months;
18 Ie nihalaly indraike, le nampikojojoahe’ i likerañey i orañey vaho nahatoly sabo ty tane.
and again he prayed, and the sky gave rain, and the land brought forth her fruit.
19 Ory longo, naho ama’ areo ty mandifik’ ami’ty hatò, vaho eo ty mampoly aze,
Brothers, if anyone among you may go astray from the truth, and anyone may turn him back,
20 Le maharendreha te ze mampitolike ty mpanan-kakeo amy fandilara’e i lalañey ro handromba-piaiñe tsy hihomake vaho handembeke tahiñe maro.
let him know that he who turned back a sinner from the straying of his way will save a soul from death, and will cover a multitude of sins.
